SUPER DADDY

MMMM WATERMELON!!!

So today the kids wanted to have "daddy" grilled hamburgers. After church today, I was told that there were 4 meetings after the block at church.... the kids moaned and groaned that I wouldn't be able to do their favorite burgers....needless to say the meetings are now down to 2 (ha ha). I told the stake leaders that they could have me at 1 meeting and the ward leaders could have me on the second. Ashley was in the kitchen having the veritable crap-fest trying to figure out what to do for dinner when SUPER DADDY landed and said, " Let there be BACON in the burgers!!". What followed was the most amazing lunch/dinner SUPER DADDY has had in a while. Bacon infused burgers with chedder cheese grated into the burgers, and soda crackers crushed into the burgers to keep them moist.... mmmm then add in fresh juicy crispy watermelon in huge chunks. Ashley made a "green salad" that had romain lettuce, cheese, bacon(mmm bacon), carrots and a light ranch glaze. Right now we're watching 7 brides for 7 brothers with cake and orange dream-sicle icecream; great way to end a busy day. (still have a meeting at 8pm, then be done for the day).

Excitement drives success, Susccess drives excitement... repetitive; but true. It seems if the days are filled with rejection and angst the day seems to last forever and every transaction with customers becomes dreaded. After observing the "happiest" people in life, it is those who have had a lot of good and uplifting moments hit them all in a row. I've never seen a happy homeless person, or a happy overqualified underpayed employee. But I have noticed that if you start the day with excitement, the same excitement will eventually drive a success in the day!
